SHARE South suburban pride: Buck of the Week: Unplugged

Jim Kidd wanted the bucks of Crete represented for Buck of the Week: Unplugged. And this one did just fine.

“Buck unplugged Oak Forest has nothing on Crete,” he e-mailed.

I think that came after the second or third time I opined that Oak Forest would get my vote for having the biggest bucks around Chicago.

BOTW: Unplugged is a weekly celebration of live big bucks around Chicago outdoors. It runs Sundays in the outdoors page of the Sun-Times. An extended online version is usually posted here Saturday or Sunday.

I thought this would fizzle out by now, being in the heart of winter, but good niminations keep coming.

Caleb Williams' evaluation a test of Ryan Poles' intuition
Williams’ has extraordinary skills. But it’s Poles’ job to know what it is that makes Caleb Williams’ tick. Does he have the “it” factor that makes everyone around him better and tilts the field in his favor in crunch time? There’s no doubt Poles sees something special in Williams.
